Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: He went
through my CV and asked me something about making an android app. (Note: I had
mentioned Android a couple of times in CV) I explained him how a basic app is
made with model (XML) and layout (Java). He told me about connector which
connects model to layout. Then he asked the two questions. For second ques, I gave a N square approach (dynamic).
He suggested a greedy approach of Order N. It was fitting most cases so I wrote
the code on greedy approach. Turned out, greedy wasn’t the solution anyway.
Doesn’t matter. (Note: Boss is always right!!!)

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: He went
through my CV and asked me about my dropped grades in 12th.In third question, interesting part was, he said me to answer only if I knew it. I replied that I know but the definition isn’t totally memorized and he said to let it go then. (PS: Learn basic defs)
Tips: Ans to 5) is Fibonacci and 6) is A is taller than B

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: He
went through my CV and asked my if I had done Intern in Amazon or Training.
Followed by, he asked me why I didn’t get a PPO there. He then asked me, which
subject I m more confident with: Algo types or OS types. I chose algo.
Tips: Keep your cool and code with confidence. Reason I am saying this is because, he was the senior most interviewer and somehow, he knew the art to stress test you.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: 1)     
Be honest

2)     
Sit with open palms

3)     
Don’t cross your hands or legs(if legs can be
visible)

4)     
Keep some back stories ready. Use any names, use your friends story anything to make it real. It will go a long way because nobody is
going to verify it.

5)     
Most imp, Be confident about yourself. If you r not
sure of yourself, you would be useless to the company.

General Tips: Code Daily. Practise. Basics are important in such interviews.
Skill Tips: Do refer the previous question sets. It gives you pretty good idea of what's expected of you.
Skills: Algorithm, Puzzle solving, Technical Knowledge, Soft Skills, Data structures
College Name: IIT DHANBAD
Funny Moments: When in first round, I knew greedy approach isn't right, But I went on with it, because I could hear my dad whispering in my ears from behind, Rule 1: Boss is always Right
Rule 2: In case of doubt, refer Rule 1...
